Debian is a Linux distribution, that's widely used for desktop machines, yet it has been gaining popularity as a server OS during the last few years too. It's very dependable and secure, because fixes are released within a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so if you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you can contact the developers without delay through electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a reply in just 15-20 minutes. The Debian community provides the best level of support possible, since all your questions will be handled by the same people who built Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their own system operates. As the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your web hosting fees and you can customize the program code files and any additional software that you install with no restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your websites. Furthermore, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, because it's light and fast and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
You will be able to pick the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you can find on the order page, so you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you need to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either with no Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you can make use of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you'll be able to manage your web content via a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have a lot of time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have a lot of experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will handle the weekly OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment in detail before we hand over your server so as to ensure that it'll perform flawlessly. You're able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the signup process, so that the apps which you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your OS up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. When you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, but you will need to be more skillful, as all of the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface, via which you can control domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be the best option when you are not very experienced, and a certain application that you want to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, but the things which you can do are restricted.
